coralsea Commented on Obama Keeping All 93 US Attorneys?? by coralsea

Oh, but that's a really intelligent way to advance a discussion.

Gee. Troll much?

It is customary for a new administration to ask for resignations across the board from those serving his predecessor. Remember all the rightwing histrionics that Clinton "fired all 93 US Attorneys!!" - despite it being standard practice?

My point, jsfox, is why on earth would Obama even think of keeping any of Bush's crop of 93 onboard - given the many instances of judicial impropriety & political machinations attributed to them?

So many stories float in my memory of those summers. Maybe I'll tell you about a few of them another time, if you have a moment or two.

I have a lifetime, and look forward to hearing them, love.

You're not the only one. My post came very close to causing a self-inflicted wound.

coralsea Commented on Gregg To Vote Against Stimulus Package by Eric Kleefeld

2009-02-13T21:46:14Z

Wish I could agree with you. Unfortunately, we're still facing a couple more financial body-blows - in the form of another wave of mortgage crunches looming, and the multi-trillion dollar credit card debt mess looking to implode.

The repercussions from these events will serve to only deepen our financial misery, I'm afraid. I believe we're looking at another year+ of fiscal stupor before we begin to creep our way out of the morass.

Too bad we can't count on "The Party of NO!" as being on our side; Barack could really use their help - even if that consisted solely of ceasing rowing their side of the boat in the opposite direction from where we're trying to go.

Man, I saw Carlos and co at the Santa Clara fairgrounds back in the day... utterly sublime.

Another occasion was in Golden Gate Park, when the tribes gathered to memorialize Bill Graham's untimely death (lesson gleaned: don't fly on helicopters over windmill-covered hills in a fucking California winter storm).

Funny, I remember being more moved that day by the words he spoke, rather than the music he played. BG was a royal bastard - but he was a musician's bastard.

A democratic president back in office = headspinning lies and distortions become the order of the day. The sad thing is that John Q. Public is, for the large part, still wildly susceptible to being propagandized into buying this crap.

And to think he spouts this gibberish when the rest of us in the Thinking World are paying homage to Darwin on his 200th birthday.

Wonder if Freddie is one of those who also believes dinosaur fossils were put here by god in order to "test our faith"?

Hello Doctor Aaron..

I read your post with much interest - and was galvanized upon reading of patient M.R. and his aortic stenosis. I, too, had that condition (congenital) - and it damn near killed me a few years ago when the valve became majorly infected.

Hope your patient monitors his BP accordingly. And adheres strictly to prophylaxis antibiotics prior to any dental work. (twas failure of the latter which nearly did me in).

Thank you for taking some of your valuable time to share your thoughts & experiences with us. Greatly appreciated.

You might also wish to bring your dentist.

His talents will prove quite useful when comes to putting your teeth back in your mouth.

My preference is for the ones held in the quiet of night, holding each other close in our private little cocoon of warmth; a bulwark against the cold harshness of the world outside.
